3D World is a great game, but it lacks the ambition and scale of the other 3D Mario games (64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1 & 2, Odyssey). Also, the larger exploration-based levels of the others puts them way ahead of 3D World, in my opinion. I personally think Odyssey is my favorite of all the 3D Mario games. Galaxy 1 & 2 were tied for being my fave up until I played Odyssey.
Another opinion: I liked Odyssey more than BotW, although the latter's still a fantastic game :)
